But not for failing!

Still chasing the 1870s 4th Cavalry around West Texas where they chased the Comanche.

Nice! Congrats on a great find! :yes:

Nice find. Its on my bucket list to find any kind of hat pin. Very nice

smith693 · Nov 30, 2014

Thanks...It is about an inch tall.

I am to understand that the height would indicate pre-1873. Does anyone know if that is correct?

Yep. The font and the size are accurate for Civil War period. Super find!
